After what felt like an eternity in his nightmare, Mahito finally made his way back to the waken world.

  Fortunately, he was greeted by a friend.

  That of which was Master Rhodes, bearing a very pleased expression clearly over his face.

  “ Welcome back, Sleeper Mahito.”

  After a short bit of pleasantries between the two, discussing the procedure for Mahito to follow after his nightmare completion. He was off to pack a few of his personal belongings, and head off to the awakened academy, where all others awakened were to train and prepare for the WInter Solstice, which would send every Sleeper that year to the Dream Realm.

  Nothing else of particular note occurred during the migration period.

  Mahito visited his home to collect his things, lock up shop, and settle his affairs before he heads off.

  And on the off chance he doesn’t come back…

  Well, that’s a thought for another time.

  After all was settled, he hopped onto his transport vehicle, awaiting his arrival to his new place of residence for the foreseeable future.

  This also gave him the prime opportunity to test out and learn the nuances to the more passive and subtle quirks to his aspect.

  There was a large basis that he needed to cover.

  A great short-term goal to pacify his growing unease for the Winter Solstice.
